Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 peach, chopped
- 16 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 oz Cool Whip
- 2–3 peaches, sliced
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon spiced or dark rum (optional)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon juice left over from cooking peaches
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Transfer it to a mixing bowl and whisk in the brown sugar until blended.
- Add the vanilla, egg, and egg white, whisking until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mix to the wet mix, stirring just until combined. Fold in the chopped peach.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 34-36 minutes. Let it cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- After the blondie cools, beat the cream cheese and both sugars together until smooth. Mix in about 3/4 cup of caramel sauce and cinnamon until well combined. Fold in the Cool Whip.
- Place the blondie back in the springform pan and spread the cheesecake mixture evenly on top. Refrigerate for about 3-4 hours until firm.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, lemon juice, cinnamon, and brown sugar, tossing to coat. Add the butter and optional rum, cooking over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes until softened. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream on high speed until thick, then add the powdered sugar and reserved peach juice, whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Pipe the whipped cream around the edges of the cheesecake, place the cooled peaches in the center, and drizzle with additional caramel sauce if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth mixture. Use fresh ripe peaches for best flavor.
